Capcom shared a statement to Videogamer confirming the release of the game and stating that it is still in early stages of development so we won’t see it for quite a while.

“We’re pleased to confirm that Resident Evil 2 has been approved for development, as the title is only just starting its development cycle we unfortunately don’t have any additional information or assets to share at this time. However, for now we want our fans to know that we appreciate all the feedback and support we’ve received on this title. We’re looking forward to delivering this highly anticipated Resident Evil experience that fans have been waiting for.”
